I found that line by Han odd after watching the prequels.  The force and Jedis were everywhere when Han was a kid, and yet within a generation their ways become viewed as outdated and weapons "ancient".  That either means the Empire had incredible reach and cultural dominance (not really shown on Tatooine in the original Star Wars) or people just had really short memories. There were still living people who would have witnessed the Clone Wars when Han is an adult.  Closest analogy I can draw in our world would be people now acting like the Soviet Union was some odd ancient state.

I doubt most folks ever actually saw the Jedi in action though. They appeared to have been elitist and monastic for the most part.

So, what is going to be the story of this film?


The force... AWAKENING!

Sorry the best movie sequel ever is terminator 2


The second Godfather was pretty good as well but yeah, pretty hard to argue against T2.

Hmm... the title is lacking oomph.

Its not like the force wasnt active before... so what is it awakening from? Weird...


luke was the only Jedi left so the force is pretty much dead no ones using it.

Dark knight 2 is also great, but terminator 2 great? Dunno. Its close. Only problem is that t2 has such a strong musical score. The acting in dk is arguably slightly better, but it lacks that certain magic only a great orchestral background can give. Its probably in the top 5 most recognizable musical theme in moving history. Dun dun dun da dun.
and while dk had that cool gritty realism brought on by the cruel madness of joker, t2 feels more real and human though thats a subjective preference. Joker is clearly a better villain, as far as evil tropes go, but again subjectively more fearsome than an unstoppable killing machine who looks human but has no human qualities.

What I think is really unsettling about the t-1000 is that its a synthetic without uncanny valley.

The one thing we can all agree on is it beats the hell out of The Phantom Menace

What? The Phantom Menace is the best title ever. These guys don't know what they're talking about.



not sure what to make of this other than typical movie tie in.

I'm inclined to agree with you. At the very least it demonstrated some artistry. The Force Awakens, conversely, reads like something that was workshopped to death.
